Prominent Baptist Pastor Says Evangelical Support For GOP Is Conditional – By David Kamioner (Lifezette) / Mar 1 2021
We should hope so.
Evangelical voters have been a vital part of the Republican coalition since the 1970s. Republicans simply cannot win without them, as the 1992 and 2008 presidential elections demonstrated. But many of them have been torn over former President Trump. Things like this don’t help.
Evangelicals acknowledge Trump’s strong pro-life stance and other traditional cultural views. That’s why they have been staunch Trump supporters. But some among them abhor the former president’s character. I have a close friend, an evangelical pastor of a large southern church, who detests Trump so much he could not vote for him, even though this pastor is very pro-life. He is in the minority with evangelicals, but as a whole they are not blind to Trump’s past foibles and current persona.
